After the hugely successful work undertaken by Agent Harris, it was inevitable Bradford would retaliate at some point.

This is beyond the pale though. Using Agents McDermott & Lowes is the equivalent of chemical warfare.

There is no case to be made as far as I can see.

There are no reasons to keep him and the longer him and his idiot mate are here we will be going backwards.

That is hardly fair or reasonable.

There is the potential yet for it to be equivilent of at least a medium-yield atomic bomb...

I wonder if he ever wakes up on a morning thinking "maybe they are right and I'm shoite after all?". If he did, that would be the first thing he has got right in a long time...

There is no case to keep him!!

At the end of the day yeah he can't be blamed for the errors the players are making, e.g webb and bedsy both knocking on at TPB againt catalans.
What he can be blamed for is our complete lack of scruture in either attack or defense something that has been evident all season.
releasing biff, and cross, and keeping ambler and amor out on loan tells me that he and GH have written this season off. I fully believe that you give brown, robinson, simmons, mcguire, smith, our squad we would be performing a damn site better on a regular basis instead of the odd good performance every weeks or so.

Hopefully one good thing can come out of this season and mc wont be head coach next season

The argument to keep him consists of who is out there, willing to come in for 7 games, or is someone we want to put our long term trust in.

I'm pretty sure that there's going to be quite a lot of "McDermott Out" chants come friday evening.

And i might just join in!!

Peter Smith also claimed in that article that his namesake Lee is 'fast'.......

The problem with what he's saying is that he's ignoring what everyone sees on the field when we play badly - i.e. that we are playing badly. The very fact that the team can give Wigan a run for their money (missing players in both cases) and yet turn up the next week and play like a pub team ought to be evidence enough that there is some quality left in the side, and that it is simply dreadfully underperfoming far too frequently.

I'm also a bit worried about the talk of an Aussie threequarter at the end of the piece - all the high profile players will have already signed up by now. We may be in for a pleasant surprise, but TBH I expect at best we'll recruit someone of the Delaney calibre (albeit one who might actually want to play in the centres).

Pretty well all that lot could be posted about the Bulls on RAB with virtually no changes.

Leeds - the new Bradford?

All joking aside and as sh#* as it is to see kirke ,Hauraki and co retained i'd lie to think we are a long way off 3yr deals for the likes of Platt signing Raynor ,Sykes and Herbert etc etc.

I
I might start it!!!

Remember we have several years on you, so it'll be around 2014 when you get to the same stage. Remember to look us up then, so we can pass on our experience of how bear (or, more truthfully, endure) the pain, and deal with all the smart sods elsewhere on the forum who delight in the misfortunes of others...

Those you named :Sykes and Platt - bit hard to put much positive spun on those, other than to hope they did not come at much cost. No been a lot wrong with Raynor, to be honest, that getting some ball for a change would not resolve, for a year or so maybe albeit no more. He must think he is still on a Union park, given how little he sees of the bloody football. Herbert may yet (maybe...possibly...conceivably...) prove his detractors wrong - but no way can he shine while the forwards make such a dog's breakfast of what they are being paid to do.

No ... After a rubbish season, floating around 10th, you lot attempted to 'flatter to decieve' by trying to win the last game of the season to qualify ... Which you promptly lost.

On the other hand, no matter how bad we've been, we've still been no worse than 8th and given Hull KR's somewhat staccacto form, along with a run-in against the like of Salford, Wakey and Cas, then we 'should' be OK for a first round exit from the play-offs.

Having said that, GH wouldn't mind an early finish to the season so he can get the bulldozers in as soon as possible ....

I would have thought an admiral would have known enough about fishing not to bite...
